Abstract

This paper uses detailed industry level time‐series data for the UK regions which suggests that convergence (at least in terms of output‐per‐employee) was not occurring during the period 1968–92. Based on testing for unit roots, it is found that in a majority of industries and regions growth was divergent, and consequently there is little empirical support for the neoclassical ‘long‐run catch up’ model.
